About Daniel
I’ve been playing and studying modern guitar technique for the past 30 years—although much of my serious work was done in the past 20.
I started out playing rock and metal—obsessed with Vai, Paul Gilbert, Satriani, etc. After attending college in Birmingham, I became fairly obsessed with Jazz and bebop. This’s still the case now!
My focus is mostly on technique, harmony, composition, and improvisation, so I think I could be useful to a broad range of students looking to amplify their CHOPS!

Methodology
STUDENT-LED
All tuition focuses on student needs/requests: emphasis on supporting technique and theory, if needed.
TECHNIQUE
Comprehensive approach to building reliable & efficient technique in both hands—with an emphasis on making this entirely approachable and FUN!
The following techniques can be studied in detail—
• Picking: economy, alternate, sweep, hybrid.
• Modern legato: correct finger placement & rhythmic accuracy.
• Arpeggio techniques: enclosure & approach notes.
• Ornamentation: bending & vibrato technique.
THEORY
Students can study the basic principles of songwriting or jump directly into BEBOP HELL!!!
The following topics can be covered in detail—
• Basic harmony: triads and melody.
• Advanced harmony: functional/non-functional harmony, harmonic rhythm, secondary dominants, pivot chords, inversions, substitutions.
• Jazz harmony: ii V Is up to Bebop and contemporary chromaticism.
• Improvisation: arpeggios, pentatonics, approach notes, melodic cells.
BACKING TRACKS + SUPPORTING MATERIAL
Whenever necessary, I support lessons with bespoke backing tracks and pdf lesson handouts in both TAB and traditional score.
Experience
I've studied at both Birmingham Conservatoire and Welsh College of Music, taught professionally at National Diploma level, and have been teaching privately for the past 25 years. My students have included beginners looking for songwriting tuition, and highly advanced improvisers looking to learn arpeggio substitution and melodic chromaticism.
Comfortable in nearly all styles—specialising in Jazz/Bebop, Rock, Metal, Blues, and contemporary songwriting.

Daniel has a very deep technical and theoretical knowledge spanning many genres and is very adept at providing information at the appropriate level without it being too overwhelming, by verbal explanation, demonstration and supplementary material. His wealth of knowledge, patience, enthusiasm and structured lesson planning provides the optimal conditions for learning with good technique and theory knowledge whilst making the process enjoyable. I would highly recommend Daniel as a tutor for anyone wanting to become a better musician and enjoy playing guitar!
Dan has a breathtaking depth of music theory knowledge and is able to impart this to the student with ease.
His guitar technique across many styles of playing is astounding.
An inspirational teacher.Daniel is an exceptional guitarist and teacher. I have studied with him for many years and he has helped me immensely with many aspects of my playing, like phrasing, technique, alternate picking, and many harmonic concepts. He's very friendly and relaxed, and unlike other teachers I've had, I feel like our lessons are tailored towards me.
I’ve not met many people since the lockdowns and I have social anxiety, but was determined to pick up the guitar. Dan was really patient and helped me work out an approach that worked for me. Brilliant teacher - I’m really happy with how I’ve progressed and am really enjoying the process. Highly recommend.
Dan's skill as a guitarist is impressive - he has mastered various genres of music, including jazz, blues, rock and folk.
He's a great teacher too - not only does he have the technical ability but his music theory knowledge is second to none.
I have learned so much from him and I would recommend him to anyone who's interested in becoming a better all-round musician.
RogerHey, guys. Just thought I'd jump on and give Dan a review.
@@@@@
Been having lessons with Dan for a few months and it's been completely great. It's taken my songwriting and blues to up to top shelf!!! Don't be out off by his *stern* look! He's also a really funny guy. Tldr, money well spent! Sign up, lads!
TonyI recently signed up for a few lessons with Daniel in order to work on my singing, guitar strumming, and technical music knowledge. Initially, I was slightly worried that the lessons would be too advanced for me, but he was very welcoming and friendly, and made sure to talk me through what I wanted to work on.
I am a slow, mostly visual learner, which he kept in mind during the lessons and it really helped me to enjoy them.
Will definitely be continuing the lessons and can't recommend enough!View more recommendations
